A FOOL FOR LUCK.
He Was Not Killed Because He
Was Drunk

Frank Ruddy, claiming to be from
Prescott, Wis, had narrow escape
from horrible death about $50 last
evening. In company with man whose
name could not be learned he was out
riding, and during the afternoon they
both became crazy drunk. In crossing
the suspension bridge Ruddy fell from
the buggy and struck on the street car
track on his head, just ahead of a car.
Patrolman Hoffman, who was passing,
picked the man UP and revived him.
The fellow received bad cut on the left
side of his. head and was in a daZed con
dition when taken to the station. His
companion did not stop, but drove rap
idly up NicolIet avenue,

Gently embarked in journalism as a
Philadelphia reporter, did not have a
long time to wait before running up
against all amusing experience. A cit
izen of some local prominence, whom
we will call John Smith, died there the
other day, and at an unconscionably
late hour the city editor detailed the
Yalensian to secure a tribute from
Mr.. Wanamaker. The clock was strik-
ing eleven as the reporter climbed the
steps of the silent Wanamaker mansion,
jerked the bell-pull and banged away
on the door. After most unseemly
racket, which must have seemed doub-
ly unseemly in that quiet. staid old city,
an upper-story W ndow was raised and
the white-capped head of the renown-
ed Philadelphian was thrust forth into

has just died, and the Orb desires your

A Cure for Corns Wanted.

"Any man who wants to make a
quick and certain fortune" observed a
Broadway druggist the other day, ''can
do it by inventing sure cure for corns.
1t doesn't matter how many there are.
there's always room for one more.
Corns are universal weakness of the
American people. There isn't day
that do not have calls for corn cures
from anywhere from 90 to $50 men.
women, girls and boys"
''Is there any actual sure cure for
corns?" asked him.
THAT depends" said he. There is
hardly a remedy that would not remove
corns if the people who use it did not
wear shoes. The trouble is that while
they are doctoring the corn they are
continuing the friction and pressure
that originally produced it. But, wheth-
er they cure or not, the good remedies,
if properly applied, keep the corn from
increasing or hardening, and reduce its
annoyance TO 4 minimum. There are
hundreds of people who employ CHI
ropodist by the year at contract price,
and it is his duty to keep their corns
pared down and their feet in order.
The corn cures enable people who can
not afford this luxury to care for their
own toes with little waste of time or
trouble. .-New York. Neys.

Table Land of Tennessee

There are peculiarites of climate
that are not easily accounted for. Per-
haps were any of them to be left out,
the charm would be gone, but altogeth-
er make it a remarkable place. The
altitude Is but q little over 1000 feet,
but there Is such a delightful breeze
sweeping over the pleateau, uninter-
rupted by surrounding heights. that no
vestige of malaria could possibly lurk
there. Then the water, while limpid
and pure as spring water can possibly
be, is strongly impregnated with the
minerals that underlie the mountains.
If there is disease of any kind in the
system, these waters will bring it to
the surface, either in the form of boils
or a fine eruption, which is not agreea-
BILE at the time, but which leaves the
patient we'll at last. 1t must be the
climate and water combined that do
this, for until few years past the diet
was certainly adverse to health, being
confined to bacon and corn bread.
With the new civilization, all of the
comforts and manners of the outer
world have crept in, and as wild game
abounds, the table need never be linn
tied. Indeed, think the menu of a
supper given there a few weeks age
would compare favorbly with any one in
our larger towns, beginning with oysters
and ending with Neapolitan cream

with that sting;ng sarcasm which her
high-toned culture knows so we'll how

sard to her already towering editice.
New York tried it on with her airy
tra-la-la ridicule Femiuiuty smiled
contemptuously at that waddle, and
tossed her monumental pile in prouder
disdain. Washington just appealed to
the kindly instincts of the fair sex, and
simply asked them to come to the aid
of a lot of poor suffering wretches
whose miseries they alone could as
sauge. That settled it, our charming
women pitcher their monstrosities into
the corner, and proceeded to make
themselves each in her own tasteful
way-'a thing of beauty and a joy for
ever" Moral: Never abuse woman.
If you do she'll settle into an obstinacy
fixed as the stars. Appeal to her kind
ness of heart. and she'll give her head
away-tall hat and ALL Washington

The OposSuu.

The name of this animal is plainly
of Celtic origin, and would indicate eth
er that it was originally brought from
Ireland, or else that the early inhabi-
tants of America were Irish. Do not
miss this chance of showing what a
blessing etymology is, and how much
may be learned from careful study OF
words.)
He is remarkable as being the only
animal that is five-handed. He pos.
sesses prehensile tail, which he is al
ways ready to unfold. and with VIII ch
he can pick up his living or climb up
the tallest tree. His moral nature is
rather low. He is of grasping dispo-
sition, and might justly be called a
professional mendicant, for he always
carries his pouch with him, but he
never goes begging when there is a
aarky around. This is strange, be-
cause in habits he is carnivorous, and
his food consists chiefly of negroes.
He belong to the family Didelphides. -

The fact that the legislature did not
reenact the law OF 1885, which changed
the place OF distribution from district clerk
to the county agency will not effect the ex.
isting plan OF distribution. AS the law
now stands, acquisitions will be made by
county superintendents for all books oi

schools Common schools are re uired to
use the books OF the state series to the ex.
ciusion OF all other books OF the sa me

urers OF common school districts, except
upon the presentation OF II certificate by

vision and improvement OF the text book

for the schools about Sept. l. | wish to
urge the prompt introduction OF the revis
ed series, and the sooner the change is
made the better. Besides, it is Imperative
that this chronic dissatisfaction with our
text books be removed.
The circular then gives the various
points in the law recently enacted relative
to temperance hygiene, and states that
the commission appointed to recommend
q suitable text book will meet at an early
day, and will make a selection OF one or more
books that may be supplied at the beginning
OF he next year. The circular continues
The law provides for the compilation by
the superintendent OF public instruction
and the presidents OF the normal schools
Of full catalogue OF books suitable for
libraries OF different grades OF the public

publisher to fill orders from this list at the
lowest rates. This list will doubtless be

cations for loans must be sustained by a

Two New District Judges.

Governor McGill has authorized the an.
nouncement that he will appoint William
Louis Kelly judge of Ramsey county, and
Col Henry G. Hicks Judge OF Hennepin
county. These additional judges are pro-
vided for by special laws passed at the re.
cent session OF the legislature. The st.
Paul Bar association had endorsed H. F.
Stevens and strongly urged his ap.
pontment for Ramsey county. He is q
great favorite among the younger members
OF the Ramsey county bar. Mr.. Kelly, the
successful candidate, was not publicly en-
dorsed by anybody. but his friends have
not failed to present his qualifications to
the governor, who evidently consid cred
them satisfactory. Mr.. Kelly is d native
of Kentucky, and is fifty years old.
Mr.. Kelly has practiced law since 1870
He came to St. Paul in the summer ol

Col Hicks was born in New York in
1888, received his education in
the common schools OF that state
and at Girard and Oberlin. In 1855
he removed to Freeport ILL.,, and in July,
1861, went into the army. Col. Hicks
| came to Minneapolis after the close OF the
war, and has been more or less prominent
in the politics OF Hennepin county since his
arrival. He began the study OF law at the

Quite An Embarrassing Situation.

very stylish young American ua-ried
ladies the other day on the boulevards.
They set out to take a stroll and to

making their way along the crowded
thoroughfare they were struck by the
amount of attention that they excited.
People stopped and gazed at them, and
altogether they felt themselves quite
the success of the afternoon. Suddenly

Winds that sweep the powdery snow,
And whirl it, sounding shrilly,
lcicles that snap below
The branches, crisp and chilly!
Forest tops that clash and toss:
Jagged cloud-rifts darkling;
Steely moonshine struggling through,
And DER the white waste sparkling.
Oh, the drear midwinter weather,
Heart and so sad together!
Oh, see the pale, gold sun!
Lisping rills that waken;
Dead leaves showing dank and dun.
From last years branches shaken.
Emerald fields where childhood soon
Will greet the early daisies;
The smiles and tears Of April days
Among the woodland mazes!
Wayside springs fresh bubbling DER,
That lately yielded no drop;
Birds that thrill the azure air,
And one wee lonely snowdrop!
Sweet tie dream of springtime weather

SasSinatiOu.

The Official Messenger at st. Petersburg
prints the following:
On Sunday last, at II o'clock in the
morning three students OF the st. Peters
burg university were arrested in the News
ky prospect, having in their possession
bombs. The prisoners admitted that they
belonged to a secret criminal society. The
bombs found on them were charged with
dynamite. Each bomb was arranged to
throw eleven balls, and all these balls wers
flied with strychnine.
Two OF the six persons arrested are quite
young and two Others appear to belong to
the peasant class. All six carried poisons,
and il is presumed they intended to commit
suicide in the event of their being arres ted,
but were deprived OF the chance by the sud
denness of the capture. Two females, stu
dents OF the Bestuscheff institute, are
among the arrested. The czaris now report
ed to be greatly averse to war. He regards
the recent plot to assassinate him as Il
purely nihilistic one. Arrests continue.
Among those taken into custody are forty
three nihilists. The police authorities de-
sire the cZar TO remain at Gatschina.

1t was large audience that gathered
last night in old Ninth Street to hear
the son, Thos. E. Murphy. He is ready
and forceful speaker, and has much OF
the pathos and fire of his father.
II saw in newspaper the assertion
that only boys. only children, were
signing these pledges. The tone of the
article, 1 thought. was little sarcastic.
1t would be grand thing if it were the
boys who were signing the pledge.
Who are the drunkards of to-day? The
boys of thirty years ago. And the
drinkers and drunkards of thirty years
are to come from the boys of to-day,
and Cincinnati has to furnish q certain
share of that number. Yes 1t would be
far better for all the boys to sign the
pledge.
"And want to say another thing. II
Christian people would stop wrangling.
put away their petty differences, and take
the temperance reform out of the grip
of politics, we would have this question
settled in ten years. time.
There are people who think that
moderation is the proper cure for the
drink habit. Moderation is the direct
cause. There are a great many men
who don't drink much; if they would
sign the pledge. it would help some one
else to do il"
